Hi Geoff,

Why does "git show-ref" show me far more than in
in .git/refs/remotes/origin?

probably the other refs come from .git/packed-refs . See

Yes. Many thanks. I'm working my way through Jon Loeliger's Git book and it's
confusing when the actual behaviour differs from that in the book :)

Cheers,
Geoff
